A Message from the Conference Chair

The world is going through unprecedented transitions, and education plays a vital role in living through them. Emerging and established educational development traditions around the world have much to learn from each other and their unique histories, and the vibrant exchange of ideas provided at the ICED conference ensures developers keep their tools sharpened and read to address campus challenges in their unique contexts.

The theme for 2018 is Institutional Change: Voices, Identities, Power, and Outcomes speaks directly to this, asking us all to consider what kind of results we are able to document when all voices are invited at the institutional and global tables. Together we claim the power that results from our rigorous and thoughtful practices.

Atlanta is the ideal backdrop to this kind of dialogue. A dynamic world capital, home to several Fortune 500 companies and host of the 1996 Olympics, it is a modern incubator of excellence, standing strong in the diversity and social justice tradition inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We look forward to welcoming our ICED friends and colleagues with our trademark southern hospitality. Mark your calendars!
